Abstract excerpt
Spatio-temporal variation in seed predation may strongly influence both plant population dynamics and selection on plant traits. The intensity of seed predation may depend on a number of factors, but the relative importance of previous predator abundance ("local legacy"), spatial distribution of the host plant, environmental factors and plant characteristics has been explored in few species. We monitored seed...
